patchwork obsession: part eight

So this pillow has been floating around the house (it never got put away last winter)....and what could be better for it than a patchwork pillow cover?I made a quilt rectangle, quilted it, and then added an envelope back. It was my first attempt at the envelope back and it made me wonder why I have waited so long to try it. It's wonderful-there is no hand stitching at the end! And when it gets dirty, I can just pop the cover into the wash.

My kids love that they can stick their hand in the back.It's the little things that count. Really.

I have that same exact pillow!! Day after Christmas clearance at Target several years ago I think! I also LOVE envelope style pillows...so easy. Thats all I make now because I am lazy and hate hand stitching. Love the pink quilted version!! What a great idea!
